For Once the Duke Couldn't Fiddle.

The Duchess of Edinburgh was met on her
arrival at Malta by the duke, and three days
later they gave concert at their house at
San Antonio The duke was down for a solo
on his beloved fiddle, and when his royal
highness stood up to perform he was greeted
Of course with a storm of applause. He pro-
ceeded in the usual manner to thrum the in
strument into tune, but the first touch told
him that the strings had been changed-that
the A string was where the G. ought to be,
and vice versa. The duke looked angry,
called for another violin, and when he had
tuned it vigorously rosined his bow. He
then dashed bravely at the piece, but, alasi
nothing but the most awful ''scroops'' re-
suited from his elbow jerking.
The audience We're perfectly patient for a
bar or two, then a sort of suppressed snicker
ran around the room, and the duke stopped
and examined his tools once more. A glance
at his bow caused him to scrutinize the rosin
box the contents of which proved to be cob
bler's wax. After this there was nothing
for the royal fiddler but to explain with tn.
best grace he could that the fates We're
against him, and resume his seat, which he
did, while muffied laughter from Prince
George gave very pretty clear clew to the
author of the emischief-IOndon Society.

The Palatka DAILY News announces
to the public that it has secured the Tel
egraphic Service of the Associated Press,
and will hereafter contain full Foreign
and Domestic Reports from the most
trustworthy sources.
THE NEWS will now be enlarged to
four Eight Column Pages. and printed
from New Type throughout.
THE WEEKLY will contain Thirty six
Columns, and will be issued on Thurs
day of each week. The typographical
character of both Daily and Weekly will
be first-class, and the Telegraphic Ser
vice of the Daily will be full and COM
plete, placing it at once in the front rank

Under its new form THE NEWS will be
enabled to render service still more
marked to our city and section. In no
sense will its purposes be changed, save
as these will be widened by increased
powers of usefulness and influence.
To the business interests which have
shown appreciation of its work in

support is confidently expected. To the
prosperity of all, and the welfare of the
State and the encouragement of every

THE NEWS will contribute zealously and
untiringly.

fact that it is no experimental product,
and from the record made in the past its
future may be truly predicted. With
the best service obtainabie, and the finest
facilities for the collection of the earliest
news, it shall be the aim of the paper to
present these in the most acceptable
form, and to use its influence for the bes,
interests of the State of Florida and the
Democratic party. 1t will express opin-
ions without fear, and will cherish nc
bitterness for those who differ honestly
and fairly; but for the public enemy oil
the faithless servant it will make il:
condemnation as plain as the languag,
will permit.

was travelling to New York few nights
since from Philadelphia when my attention
was attracted by large, fiabhy and pom
derous man who occupied a chair immedi-
ately in front of me. The drawing room
cars are furnished with big windows, which
act as mirrors at night when IL is dark and
the car is lighted within. The gentleman
In question was about 40 year old and l can
didly think he was the plainest man l ever
saw in my life. Before the train started he
wheeled his chair around facing the window
and fell to gazing at his reflection in the
glass. He continued it with ever increasing
admiration until we arrived in New York.
At first he did it in rather a shame faced
way, but the fascination became so strong
after half an hour that he threw modesty to
the winds and fell to admiring himself in the
most open and enthusiastic manner. He
opened his travelling bag, took out stand
ing collar of prodigious size and put it on,
after removing old fashioned collar.
The effect Of this seemed to please him inn
mensely and he sat smirking at his reflection
with unmistakable complacency. Then he
took Off his hat and pushed his hair back
from his forehead, wrinkling his eyebrows
after the style of the tragic muse and holding
his chin high up in the air. This suddenly
suggested possibilities to him, and he rose in
a furry and retired to the dressing room at
the end of the car. Presently he returned
with his hair parted in the middle and banged
in the most beautiful and youthful Style
By this time the whole car was interested in
him, and, curiously enough, nobody smiled.
